Peter Byrne will lead us in the prayer of confession and words of assurance. Rev. Sam will offer a commissioning blessing for the youth before they depart next week for a service project in Appalachia. Jessica and Liam Chaffee-Hobbs will serve as scripture readers along with Rev. Laura Simmons, with focus texts from Genesis 18:1-15 (Sarah laughs) and Romans 5:1-8 (sufferings produce endurance). The First Church Choir will sing the anthem, &#8220;Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,&#8221; and Rev. Amanda will preach. Our music, rooted in the African American tradition, will include spirituals. We will also share in prayers of the people.
